QLC+ Information

Custom Fixture location Windows

 C:\Users\USERNAME\QLC+\Fixtures


Start QLC with web controller: 

add --web to the target name.


Default port for the web client is 9999


USE QLC to activate DMX based on clock time of day

Set a clock timer in QLC+ that, at a given time, triggers a sequence which lasts X amount of time.

EXAMPLE:
At 8:30AM power up the DMX lights, then leave them powered up for 5 hours, at which time, they will turn off.

You can do this with QLC+ (free) some junk laptop (windows/mac) and likely a $25 USB/DMX adapter.

You can set QLC to launch/run automatically minimized. Assuming computer is on the network, you can use a phone/tablet/computer to remotely turn the lights off/on or other DMX type functions.

1 - Add a DMX fixture in QLC


2 - Create a sequence

3 - Create a clock sequence


4- start the app
5 - Modify the startup of QLC to run this all automatically.
Save the above work.  I've called it "testsequence"

Modify the target and add --open FILENAME.qxw

Set it for MINIMIZED if you want to hide QLC as much as possible.


Give it a try!
